Thanks to the success of Michael Bay’s Transformers and Bumblebee’s endearing charm, the 2010 Chevrolet Camaro has become one of the iconic cars of this generation. So it’s no surprise that Chevrolet has jumped on the chance of capitalizing on its popularity by releasing a new convertible trim for this model.

At a glance, there’s really not that much difference between the appearance of the new Camaro convertible and its coupe sibling. The new Chevrolet Camaro convertible still carries the same design structure as that of the original coupe, although the image of it with its top down and its new black finish makes it look more luxurious and regal compared to the yellow and black stripes finish used by its coupe counterpart in Transformers. The new convertible will also sport the same engine as that of its coupe sibling which is either a 3.6-liter V-6 or a 6.2-liter LS3 engine. The convertible will also be given the option of carrying a manual transmission or an automatic transmission.

Chevrolet is set to release the new Camaro convertible in the summer of next year. That would probably a good plan for them especially since next year marks the release of the new Transformer’s sequel. Talk about timing, huh?
